Repentance Page #3

And I'll go work for $5 an hour, man.

F*** your money, bro.

What the hell are you talking about?

You said you were in trouble

and they were gonna hurt you.

I bought three weeks with them dudes, man.

Your money don't mean sh*t to me, bro.

You got a problem with me?

Yeah, you can't buy me.

I been knowing her. I

introduced you to her.

She wasn't nothing

but a little old bartender.

You had the college degree,

you had the money.

You chose her.

And she chose you, over me, bro.

Now you acting all high and mighty

and fancy and all that.

'Cause you some kind of little therapist

and some sh*t like that.

And people think you're pure.

But, n*gger, I know you.

You ain't sh*t, n*gger.

Go look in the f***ing mirror.

Oh, yeah, here's your cut

of Granddaddy's coin collection.

You were giving him money?

Is Ben the reason

you started taking clients again?

The father of that girl

in my yoga class, for him?

My brother's gone. I hope you're happy.

I got to go pack for my trip.

Tommy?

Are you serious?

You came.

I made us some dinner.

What do you think of the place?

- Nice.

- It's nice, right?

Yeah. It's nice.

It's been so energized

ever since your visit.

I was cleaning.

I've been cleaning all day long.

I feel so good.

Listen, Angel,

I'm afraid I can't continue our sessions.

But I paid you already.

Full refund.

I don't understand.

I wanted to tell you in person.

I'm leaving town.

- For how long?

- A few weeks.

That's fine. A couple weeks is nothing.

But I think you still

should speak with someone.

Just to help you keep that balance.

You know?

So I wrote down some of my colleagues'

names and numbers for you.

For you to contact.

You don't understand.

See, my little girl is coming over

and my wife, Sophie, she's coming with her.

I was thinking that you could meet her

and you would be able to tell her

that I'm getting better

and that you've worked it out.

That we've worked it out,

that you've fixed things.

Angel.

Fixed.

Another time.

How about you just stay for a drink?

Just a drink?

I can't. Thank you.

I understand.

You got important places to be.

I don't mean to bother you.

Thanks for coming in the first place.

One last hug?

Well, I hope that your journey

brings you to where you need to go.

You, too.

She says you can't leave.

What is this?

Angel?

Where am I?

Angel!

Angel!

Angel.

Answer me.

You hear me?

What are you doing?

Angel. No. No.

Angel!

Angel!

Franny, stay up there.

What are you doing down there?

Stay up there. All right?

I had a bad dream.

Okay. I'll come up, all right?

I'll be right there.

Close that door for me, all right?

Angel, look, why am I...

Why am I here? What are you doing?

Where am I?

All right. Listen carefully, okay?

I've been gone a whole night, all right?

Sooner or later my wife is gonna

figure out something is wrong. Right?

You know what she's gonna do?

She's gonna call the police.

And you know what that means? Cops.

They're gonna come here,

they're gonna see what you're doing to me,

and they are gonna arrest you.

Angel, everybody,

your whole family, your wife,

everybody's gonna be heartbroken.

You're never gonna see

your daughter again.

Is that what you want, Angel?

- Is that what you want?

- Have some cleanser.

Keep your mouth closed.

Keep your mouth closed.

Keep your mouth closed.

Cleanse away your soul.

How long do you think

you can keep me here?

You made this up, not me.

Help!

Help!

Can anybody hear me?

Can anybody hear me?

Can anybody hear me?

You know, the people

who designed this house,

they're quacks.

It's a bomb shelter.

You remember when people used to be,

like, afraid of the Russians?

It sounds crazy now,

but remember, Russians?

Is anybody out there? Help!

Can you hear me?

Maybe you should yell to Mr. Yang.

Mr. Yang!

Mr. Yang!

That's my neighbors.

They live right next door.

They're not here right now, though.

They had to go to their son's graduation.

I sent them... I sent them a card.

Angel,

let me go.

I can't.

Want to tell me what you're feeling?

Why?

Because this lack of reason

is not you, Angel.

It comes from a place of confusion inside.

- Really?

- Yeah, yeah.

This state of mind is strong.

It's toxic.

Makes you feel like you've split.

One side is making the other side

question your basic humanity.

Right? But look, don't blame yourself.

Don't blame yourself. It's not you. Okay?

Look at me.

Look at me.

I'm not crazy!

Then why am I tied up, Angel?

To tell the truth.

It's that simple.

You can trust me. I value privacy.

I'm like a vault.

Tell me all your secrets

and I'll let you go.

Who taught you that?

I got to see this through.

You got to see what through?

Look, our decisions make our paths.

Don't make bad decisions.

Angel, look,

think about what this will mean

in your next life.

You are so smooth.

Do you know that? You are so smooth.

Do you even believe the things

that you say? Do you believe them?

You didn't want to be alone. I get that.

But this isn't the correct way

to handle this, Angel.

You think this is because I'm lonely?

Is that what you think?

You'd rather believe that

there's something wrong with me.

You think that I'm losing my mind,

that I can't think straight.

I was mistaken. I'm sorry.

I was wrong. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm not gonna let you infect my ideas.

I'm not gonna let you

get inside of my mind.

Wake up!

Wake up, Tommy!

Are you ready?

No, Angel. Angel, don't.

Whatever you're thinking,

don't do it, Angel.

I was just trying to help, Angel.

I was just trying to help.

I'm sorry!

Bring forth that which is within you.

That which is within you, will save you.

Hello?

Maggie, it's Meyer. Where's Tommy?

Isn't he with you?

No, no, no, he flew off alone.

I'm supposed to meet him later.

He missed his book signing.

- What?

- Yes.

Are you sure he has his dates right?

Have you heard from him?

- I got a text from him, he said he was okay.

- Well, just sit tight. We'll track him down.

Have him call me

when he gets to Chicago. Good?

Yeah, I will.

I have a confession.

This house used to be happy.

Once.

Water.

I need water.

You know, I read this, you know.

It opened something in me

that I thought was lost.

How to channel optimism.

How to channel optimism.

I can't feel anything.

To be optimistic.

It says here,

"If we aren't positive,

it will show and we will flounder."

"Flounder." That's a great word.

Why are you keeping me here, huh?

Are you ready to embrace your words?

What do you want?

Are you ready to go

on a journey of healing with me?

There's stages. There's stages.

There's steps in your book.

Let's start at the beginning.

Down the road of virtue.

You know, a person can't be at peace

if they have negative attitudes.

Optimism. That's what I want from you.

I want you to turn that frown upside down.

Sometimes I failed, it

couldn't always work.

But I'm telling you, if you just smile,
